    It's been a while...

    Just thought I'd take a sneak peek... haven't stopped by in over a year. The site looks nice - different, but nice. And a hello to anyone who recognizes me.

    Amazing how time flies when you're busy.

    Hi Dalia, good to see you back. How have you been?
    Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
    Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
    Towards the sun, carry your name
    In warm hands you are given
    Ask the wind for the way
    Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
    Accept all as it is and do not blame
    God or the Devil

    Not too bad. Been mostly working, going to school, and throwing a little money toward therapy. Was finally correctly diagnosed with PTSD - not bipolar... so no more medications, which has been a great relief. Depression improved with REBT and some bit of support here and there. Doesn't mean I've reached the utopian version of my life, but it's definitely better than it has ever been thus far.

    The single life has been nice, but since I've become a little more stable as of late (as well as exercising, rebuilding a nice warddrobe, and actually putting some effort into my appearance), I've been a little more interested in meeting someone new. Although, for the time being, I have really enjoyed the appreciative looks.

    How have things been on the forum and IRL?

    Anxiety disorders tend to be particularly common, and so I sense that the logistics of providing any meaningful treatment would simply cost too much. At least, that seems to be reasoning of most mental health care providers.

    PTSD is often portrayed as incurable - it's something you learn to live with and maintain. In that regard, thus far, I'd have to agree. I still have nightmares, I still remember things I don't want to, and I still have panic attacks - however, I'm learning how to manage such things. It would be nice if insurance covered the therapy though...

    Hey Dalia, good to hear things are going well.
    Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.
